Especially, it is desirable to substrate 100 and also be provided with ingate 110, so that water is introduced water space.

Preferably, ingate 110 is formed on such position, and this position roughly is higher than the proper level that is stored in the water in the water space.This is that the cause of leaking takes place for the water stored in order to prevent.

It is desirable to substrate 100 and also be provided with access road 120 between ingate 110 and water space.This is in order to obtain to introduce accurately the cause of water.

Ingate 110 preferably is provided with door 130, so that optionally open and close.

Steam generator 200 is again element of new machine, is used for optionally the water that is stored in substrate 100 being heated and evaporating.

Steam generator 200 comprises heat radiation heater 210 and controller 220.

Heat radiation heater 210 is installed into makes its end be positioned at the water space of substrate 100, and the other end is positioned at the outside of water space, and the said other end is provided with terminal.

In this case, it is desirable to be provided with packing ring 211, be used for anti-sealing and leak in the zone of the heat radiation heater 210 that is provided with terminal.

Especially preferably, heat radiation heater 210 can be a sheathed heater.Here, sheathed heater is meant a kind of like this heater, wherein the coil of heater by highly heat-conductive material for example aluminium or copper-clad round, thereby make outside coil is not exposed on.This is to consider the cause that prevents that coil and the water of being stored from coming in contact.

Controller 220 be positioned at substrate 100 with the separated inner space of water space, and this controller is suitable for the heat radiation operation of control heater 210.

Preferably, the front surface setting operation panel 140 in substrate 100 is used for controller 220 is manually controlled.The reason that guidance panel 140 is arranged on the front surface of substrate 100 is: no matter main body 400 folds and launches operation, can both remain on a fixed position to guidance panel 140, and no matter how user's height can both guarantee that the user can easily carry out manual operation to guidance panel 140.
